Another morning of loving my job. Really.

I absolutely love my job, teaching at the college level. My students are awesome, hardworking, kind, considerate, and just amazing. Every day I am prouder of them. Most of them are here at great personal sacrifice, money-wise and family-wise. They bring a great deal of prior knowledge to the classroom. Prior knowledge, and prior experience, too.

Today, I especially appreciate how they did not say a word, through two sections, about the wads of fabric softener poking out the bottoms of my pant legs. Both legs.

Somehow, I don't think the junior high kids would have let that one pass them by.

We're talking BIG wads of softener. The kind that look like gauzy fish nets. Two of them.
